Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Cuvee Cuis 1er Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs NV

In their words - Lively, ethereal, mouth-watering and perfectly-balanced, this Non-Vintage Brut Cruis 1er Cru represents the archetype of the Pierre Gimonnet & Fils style. This cuvee is the pillar of the estate and an initiation into our approach.

Critics thoughts - The champagnes of Pierre Gimonnet & Fils are intricately assembled by masterful hands exclusively from enviably positioned and painstakingly tended old vines. Every cuvée sings its aspiration of 'precision, purity and minerality', each speaking articulately of its place in the northern Côte des Blancs through expressive, chalky minerality, without one molecule of detail out of place. With high-strung tension, crystalline structure and rapier-sharp precision, these are blanc de blancs champagnes charged with an energy that will sustain them long indeed. They represent some of the best-value apéritif champagnes of all. The Champagne Guide 2016-2017, Tyson Stelzer www.tysonstelzer.com

Pretty notes of orchard blossoms and chalky mineral on the nose waft through the palate’s yellow apple, pear and grated ginger elements, plus a pleasing touch of lightly bitter pink grapefruit pith. This is a fine, mineral-driven aperitif, with a refined mousse and lightly mouthwatering acidity carrying the enticing flavor profile.  92 Points Wine Spectator
